Rachel Zegler opened up about the support and love she received from fellow female stars including Ariana Grande, amid Snow White’s backlash

In a recent chat with Allure, the 23-year-old rising star revealed that other women in Hollywood have shown support as she leads Disney’s new live-action film.

She revealed that Grande reached out to her impromptly and asked if she needed any help.

“Ariana Grande reached out to me—apropos of nothing—and said, ‘If you need anything, I am here,'” Zegler said.

“She is so deeply kind. She has gone through so much in the public eye, and I have always really, really admired her courage in the face of all of that,” Zegler gushed over the Wicked star.

“Jameela Jamil is like a big sister to me,” she said of The Good Place star, adding, “I love that she has no regrets about being outspoken, about being strong-willed and strong-minded.”

Moreover, Zegler noted about her Shazam! Fury of the Gods’ castmates, Oscar winner Helen Mirren and Emmy nominee Lucy Liu, that they “have been my keepers in all of this, where I feel very held by them.”

Zegler further expressed her desire that she was always looking for a “sister” in the industry, and “they’re not always easy to find,” she admitted.

While noting the constant pressure of competing with fellow female stars, Zeler declared that she did not “subscribe to that.”

“We’re often told that other women have to be your competition and, I really do believe in championing your friends and championing your coworkers, whether you’re close with them or not,” Zegler added.
